I should explain. The little gray dots are the seats sold for my Lynne Jordan & the Shivers Concert at City Winery Chicago. The other ones - the little brown dots are the unsold seats and there's quite a few of them. I try not to go to that page every minute though it is bookmarked on my computer and every mobil device that I own. …
The New Star Wars Movie. (The Force Awakens) Not Just Another Star Wars Film To Me.
The FORCE AWAKENS. It certainly has - in all of us! I spent the better part of the wee hours of this morning posting first reviews, videos and photos from Star Wars like some crazed adolescent fanboy! The opening of this movie may be the one thing that excites me ALMOST as much as my gig at City Winery on Jan 1st! I saw A New Hope with my mom and brother back in 1977.

U.S. State Department issues Worldwide Travel Alert.
This is some scary stuff. Oftentimes, I shrug these things off, perhaps foolishly, but this time, so soon after the many attacks on innocents around the globe, I am worried, saddened - aware. But, even as the real haters of the world continue to threaten us, and challenge our joy of life, I will continue to love and hope. I wish us all safe travels and enjoyment as the Holiday Season approaches. I can't help but think of a verse from my Mother's favorite Psalm 23:4 "Yea, though I walk through …
